LIFESTYLE When I'm Sixty-Four...
"Will you still need me?" and "Will you still feed me?" seemed like humorous
questions when Paul McCartney first asked them. Upon actually reaching the age
of sixty-four, however, they take on a new relevance.

LIFESTYLE Wii fit. U fit?
Something amazing has happened in the past few weeks: I got back into a regular
daily exercise routine -- and I love it! We had planned on getting the new Wii
Fit balance board and software when it first came out, but had never
quite gotten around to it. And then a recent hospital stay convinced me that
regular exercise might help prepare me for the likely health challenges of the
next few decades. After all, aging is not for the faint of heart -- a concept
which is literally true for me and many others.

According to popular definition, the last of the Baby Boomers is born in 1964.
At the same time, many of the oldest Boomers are heading off to college. The
Beatles lead the British invasion of America, while the new Johnson
administration explores expanding our military role in Vietnam. Important
legislation includes the Civil Rights Act and the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, both
turning points in American history.

The cost of gas increases to $0.30 per gallon, but Americans are more interested
in going to the movies to see "My Fair Lady" and "Mary Poppins" or staying home
to watch "Bonanza" or the "Dick Van Dyke Show".

In the early '60's, the AM airwaves became dominated by the driving rhythyms of Detroit's Motown sound,
by the polished stylings from the Brill Building scene in Manhattan, and by Phil Spector's L.A.-based derivative,
the Wall of Sound.

Song-writing teams like Holland - Dozier - Holland in Detroit and Goffin & King or
Barry & Greenwich in New York churned out hit after hit. Their success later paled, however, beside that of
Liverpool's Lennon & McCartney. When the Beatles began the British Invasion of America at the end of 1963, popular music
would never be the same.
